The producers must have known when discovering the goldmine that is Sebastian's, just before it's inevitable collapse would be difficult to top.

This is reality TV at it's absolutely best and I'm convinced nothing will top this. As much as I enjoy the infamous 'Amy's Bakery' saga, I believe the levels of delusion displayed by Sebastian is more entertaining. The episode starts you off with an already promising premise: The oaf of an operator openly admitting he married into money and convinced his wife to buy him this restaurant. The actual location is in good shape, has a patio bar and nice dining areas. The kitchen staff are competent, young and loyal; the waitresses all young and gorgeous. So much potential, yet the only problem is the owner himself is incredibly stupid. So stupid that his pea brain malfunctioned when he witnessed his business doing well with the changes Chef Ramsay makes. His staff and the locals respond incredibly well to the changes and has everything working like clockwork with barely even a need to supervise.

How does he manage to screw that up ? I have to watch this episode a few times a year to constantly remind myself how he managed to intentionally destroy his chance at a successful reboot of his restaurant.

Wow, some of these Kitchen Nightmare shows are really hard to watch years later. Sebastien has a huge restaurant which his wife bought for him. Apparently she has a lot of money, and she is letting him live his dream of being a fake chef, microwaving frozen food.

I really felt sorry for his wife. She seems like a nice person. Having to throw away at least a million dollars on a loser like Sebastien is very sad. It would have been a lot cheaper to divorce him. A follow-up on this show states that Sebastien stopped going to work a few months after the show aired, and the restaurant was closed down.

Sebastien is now running a landscaping/tree removal company together with his wife Nicole. I guess he can microwave all the dinners at home and it costs less than destroying a restaurant.
